OVERVIEW
The BL1450U provides complete power pro-
tection from utility power that is not always
consistent. The BL1450U features 800 Joules
of surge protection. The unit provides long
lasting battery backup during power outages
with maintenance free batteries. The BL1450U
ensures consistent power to your computer
system and includes software that will automat-
ically save your open files and shutdown your
computer system during a utility power loss.
AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The BL1450U stabilizes inconsistent utility power
voltage to nominal levels that are safe for equip-
ment. Inconsistent incoming utility power may be
damaging to important data files and hardware,
but with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR),
damaging voltage levels are corrected to safe
levels. AVR automatically increases low utility
power to a consistent and safe 110/120 volts.
DETERMINE THE POWER
REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into
the outlet does not exceed the UPS’s rated
capacity. If the rated capacity of the unit is
exceeded, an overload condition may occur
and cause the UPS to shut down or the circuit
breaker to trip.
2. There are many factors that can affect
the amount of power that your computer
system will require. For optimal system per-
formance keep the load below 80% of the
unit’s rated capacity.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately
upon receipt. However, after receiving a
new UPS, to ensure the battery’s maximum
charge capacity, it is recommended that you
charge the battery for at least 8 hours. Your
UPS is equipped with an auto-charge fea-
ture. When the UPS is plugged into an AC
outlet, the battery will automatically charge
whether the UPS is turned on or off.
Note: This UPS is designed with a safety fea-
ture to keep the system from being turned
on during shipment. The first time you turn
the UPS on, you will need to have it connect-
ed to AC power or it will not power up.
2. With the UPS unit turned off and unplugged,
connect your computer, monitor, and any
other peripherals requiring battery backup
into the battery power supplied outlets
DO
NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder,
copier, space heater, vacuum, sump pump
or other large electrical devices into the
“Battery and Surge Protected Outlets”.
The power demands of these devices may
overload and damage the unit.
3. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire ground-
ed receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the
wall branch outlet is protected by a fuse or
circuit breaker and does not service equip-
ment with large electrical demands (e.g. air
conditioner, copier, etc.).
The warranty prohibits
the use of extension
cords, outlet strips, and
surge strips in conjunc-
tion with the UPS unit.
4. Press the power switch to turn the unit
on. The Power On indicator lights up and
the unit will “beep” twice. If an overload is
detected, an audible alarm will sound and
the unit will emit one long beep. To correct
this, turn the UPS off and unplug at least one
piece of equipment from the battery power
supplied outlets. Make sure the circuit break-
er is depressed and then turn the UPS on.
5. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the
UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
6. To store the UPS for an extended period,
cover it and store with the battery fully
charged. While in storage, recharge the
battery every three months to ensure
battery life.
7. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are
located near the equipment being attached
for proper accessibility.
